0 = 0
Simplifying
7x + -11 = 5(x + -2) + 2x + -1
Reorder the terms:
-11 + 7x = 5(x + -2) + 2x + -1
Reorder the terms:
-11 + 7x = 5(-2 + x) + 2x + -1
-11 + 7x = (-2 * 5 + x * 5) + 2x + -1
-11 + 7x = (-10 + 5x) + 2x + -1
Reorder the terms:
-11 + 7x = -10 + -1 + 5x + 2x
Combine like terms: -10 + -1 = -11
-11 + 7x = -11 + 5x + 2x
Combine like terms: 5x + 2x = 7x
-11 + 7x = -11 + 7x
Add '11' to each side of the equation.
-11 + 11 + 7x = -11 + 11 + 7x
Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0
0 + 7x = -11 + 11 + 7x
7x = -11 + 11 + 7x
Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0
7x = 0 + 7x
7x = 7x
Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.
7x + -7x = 7x + -7x
Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0
0 = 7x + -7x
Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
